Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented July 21, 1908.

Application filed August 16, 1907. Serial No. 388,832.

T 0 all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, GUSTAV STRUoK, a subj ect of the German Emperor, and resident of N o. 49 Klosteralle, Hamburg, Germany, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Devices for Eva orating VVater in Heating Apparatus for eating Buildings and the Like, of which the following is a specification.

The present invention has for its object a device for evaporating water in hot-water or heating apparatus especially of the kind which are employed in dwellings, offices and the like.

The novelty consists in a box which is filled with water and arranged underneath the existing heating apparatus and partly encircling the heating tube in such a manner that the latter transmits its heat to the water.

The accompanying drawing represents two forms of construction of the invention.

Figure 1 shows how the box is arranged within the foot of the heating apparatus. Fig. 2 shows, perspectively, the novel way the box is hung underneath the heating ap- 'paratus.

In the first form' of construction (Fig. 1)

the box a is held against the lower horizontally arranged tube d by bent bars I) which, at the same time serve as feet to the former. guidings c in such a manner that the box can be guided and'held fast on the said bars and against the heating body by screw-nuts 0 The top ends of the side walls of the said box are cut out to suit the shape and size of the said tube and provided with packing material in such a vided with springs h for the purpose.

In the form of construction shown in Fig. 2, the box is hung underneath the heating body and made water-tight by rubber plates is which are made to suit the shape of the tube (17,, inserted in grooves on the box-and tightened by screws 8. Instead of this arrangement, the feet of the heating apparatus, can be placed in the water box, or the feet omitted from the apparatus. In this latter case no packing need to be employed.

I claim:

In a device for evaporating water in heating apparatus the combination of a heating apparatus, a box the side-walls of which have grooves arranged underneath this heating apparatus and partly encircling the heating tube, bent bars guided in guidings of the said box adapted to press the said box against the said heating tube, rubber plates movably arranged in the box adapted to make the latter water-tight, springs adapted to ress said rubber plates against the sidewalls of the box, substantially as shown and described.
